Still kind of under a mountain of Christmas cards/DT assignments, but I thought I would pop in quickly to share a card I made a while back that wasn't picked up.
This was kind of a fun technique. I first stamped the chevron border on the kraft cardstock in White Daisy pigment ink. While it was still wet, I used an old dry baby wipe to lightly brush the surface. This kind of softens the color and spreads a little ink over the entire surface. Then I went back (again not waiting for the ink to fully dry) and stamped again using Outdoor Denim ink, but stamped it slightly offset from the original stamps. This ends up creating multiple shades of blue since the portions that are stamped over the original pigment ink turn out lighter.
The background is kind of the star of the card, so I kept the rest pretty simple. Just some twine and buttons.
Hope that you had a good end to your week!
